[QUOTE="lisacp, post: 837981, member: 126122"] I was working on a ratio of 1 unit per 10g carb so therefor it was about 61/2 units. My dsn told me to spread it over 2 hours and have about 30% upfront. My bg before eating was 5.6 and 2 hours later it was around 15. I don't know whether it was the length of time or how I split the dose that was the problem. Another issue that I have is that due to another medical condition I have to take steroids daily meaning that for my evening meal I have to work on 1 unit of insulin per 5 carb this means that my dose easily exceeds 6 units. Tonight I had a meal that meant that I needed 10 units of insulin I tried a standard bolus and that has worked really well. [/QUOTE]
